Could You Be A Disgruntle Customer?

The critical and outspoken nature of our Country often leads some people to behave irrationally at times which produces many disgruntle customers. Finding a diplomatic way to handle such incidents is not always easy.

The Customer Service Motto: The motto,”The customer is always right.” made popular by groundbreaking and successful retailers such as Harry Gordon Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Marshall Field. These successful businessmen expressed that customer complaints should be handled seriously so that the customer should never feel ripped off or disrespected.

Research: Research shows that that customers who complain are likely to continue doing business with your company if they feel that they were treated fairly. It’s estimated that as many as 90% of customers who believe that they were treated unfairly never complain, instead, they take their business elsewhere.

Working in retail: Having worked in retail for over 25 years I have encountered plenty of angry customers. In such cases the employee is never allowed to express their position. I have come to realize that even if though the customer could be right, does not give them the right to behave like a irritate monster. Yet, I have been on the other end of the situation as well. There are a couple of times that I did not behave like a suitable customer, with time I had to learn how to control my temper involving situations which stem beyond the employees authority.

Dealing with angry customers: Dealing with upset customers is a part of retail. How to deal with an angry customer is the challenging part.

The Big Picture: The big picture is that customers want to be understood and respected. Which could explain the little person shown in the picture above dressed in a chicken suit, protesting against McDonald’s alleged slaughter practices, holding a sign which displays “I Am Not a Nugget!”
